nice point. but what exactly do you propose? while those you have mentioned have its own merit, to live the life opposite of it is just against the tide, which makes life even harder.

so what exactly do you mean by living in your own terms? devoid of all life's comfort?

so what will you say, where would you be? what state of mind would you be if all your plans materialize? because if it does, you will earn plenty; you will profit alot and hence acquire wealth? what will you do with your wealth? if you start hiring your own "slaves" to help you prosper even more, what would you say?

i think many people are dissatisfied and unhappy because that is what they are to begin with. happiness is a state of mind. there are many out there who are in the rat race but are fullfilled and happy.

I guess when you get to study them, they have very simple way of thinking. very one track which leads to success. and these people entertain very little distractions in their lives.

while it is true that it is easier to walk away from pay the bills that have made ones life convenient, it is harder to face the challenges presented when trying to cover the bills. one needs to rise to the occasion.

steemit itself is worth millions. the fact that we write for steemit makes us its own slaves.
